Question:
In her question, she says: When I travel, I go out in the morning and arrive home after a period following the 'Isha' prayer. So I pray the Zuhr and 'Asr before going out, and the Maghrib and 'Isha' shortened together. Is this correct or not?
Likewise, if I go out to the market before 'Asr and arrive home after 'Isha', should I pray 'Asr and Maghrib before leaving the house, because the market hours are limited?
Answer:
You have no right to shorten or combine the prayers. This is a great error. It is obligatory for you to pray each prayer in its time: Zuhr is four rak'ahs, 'Asr is four, Maghrib is three, and 'Isha' is four. Even if you are in the market, pray in the market at the proper time, and praise be to Allah.
As for combining the two prayers, this is reprehensible. You do not have the right to combine them for the sake of the market, or for buying and selling. But if you go out after the sun has passed its zenith, after the adhan for Zuhr, pray only Zuhr at home. And if it is after 'Asr, when the adhan is called, pray only 'Asr, then go to the market.
So when Maghrib comes and you are in the market, go to the house and pray at home, or pray in the market if staying there is necessary. Pray in the market, then remain in the market until the time for 'Isha' comes, then pray 'Isha' in the market.
As for combining them, this is a great reprehensible act and is not permissible. If you have done any of this, you must repeat the prayer. If you prayed 'Asr before its time, or Zuhr before its time, or Maghrib before its time, or 'Isha' before its time, you must repeat it along with repentance to Allah. This is a great reprehensible act. We ask Allah for safety and well-being.
The presenter: O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good.
